Canned tunes and I am not crazy about having custom tunes on a new truck from someone I haven't met. I was told I would only gain a extra 10 horsepower and maybe 10-20lbs of torque anyway. Is that not true? I was perfectly happy with the tunes before they updated them with the horrible shifting file. They told me they have tons of complaints but have no idea of when it will be fixed. They can't even tell me if it will be this month or year. I have custom tunes on my ranger and it was a PIA to finally get them right and I don't want to really mess with that on my new one. I had a ton of options with the sct x4, is it that much better to have a custom tune? I just want the programmer to work out of the box like advertised.

SCT Tuner Issues
I have the sct x4 for my 2013 ford f150 ecoboost and haven't been able to use it for about two months. They did a update that causes the truck to slam into second gear under light throttle. They keep saying they are working on it, at this point I am getting fed up. The programmer is useless for my truck like this and I hate spending that kind of money and not being able to use it. I could get custom tunes but shouldn't have to, I was perfectly happy with the one it had. If anyone is using this tuner with the canned tunes and it works DON'T update it. Is anyone else waiting for them to release a update?

Been running MPT w/1000 miles. No issues, great power, great drivability. When a place returns calls and emails as fast as they do, they earn my trust and business. If i didnt want MPT, I prob woulda used Stage 3 and 5star tunes for their good customer service.

They replaced the cable. It was working intermittently. The first time I sent it back it was doing what it is now, NOTHING. When I got it back the first time, it worked for a few days then started resetting itself like the power was cut off and then back on. So I sent it back again. This time it's doing the same as the first time. It will power up with the USB cable in the truck also. Not sure how to test for intermittent power to the OBD2.

if its slamming into second gear....you do know this is a TUNER... correct? you can modify the transmission settings yourself..
maybe go into the trans settings and turn the line pressure down from 1-2 shift and see if that helps
canned tunes are safe and generic.. they dont work 100% the same on every truck..that is why custom is better
